<p>So I'm excited to see <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/43466">#43466</a> land, and as far as I can tell all the boxes have been checked as of <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/74430">#74430</a>. What happens between the stabilization issue getting merged, and the feature appearing in the next release (1.47?)? I don't see it listed on the <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/RELEASES.md">release notes</a> yet, even though the latest mentioned version is dated 4 days in the future so I assume the release notes accumulates entries before the actual release, so I would have expected to see it by now. Or is my count off by 6 weeks, and the stabilization means that it's going to hit beta in 4 days and stable in 6 weeks?</p>

<p>Also, note that <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/74430">#74430</a> is marked 1.48 -- I'm not sure who/what is putting those on, but thank you whomever did that</p>

<p>Yes, triagebot assigns those labels on PR merge. We've not yet perfected updating them for backports, but that will happen soon too, I expect, and for now I'm manually updating without too much trouble.</p>

<p>ye used to be a hassle earlier to manually make certain prs with a milestone and then update it if it misses a release date <span aria-label="grinning" class="emoji emoji-1f600" role="img" title="grinning">:grinning:</span></p>
